Abstract
This study reviewed the existing literature on news value theory and
examined its validity and implications in the contemporary world.
The study refers to digital journalists and academicians. Are the news
selection criterion still the same as they were in the past or are editors,
journalists, and media outlets changing their approach due to
globalization? Do journalists and editors still consider the same news
factors to publish a story or not? These questions are addressed in
this study. This paper is relevant for future researchers and
professional journalists. Today, journalists need more skills than ever
before. At the same time, due to digitalization and competition,
organizations need stories continuously throughout the day to run
their businesses and maintain their ranking among other media
outlets. Scholars need to empirically revisit media theories includes
middle range theories, according to the needs of the time. Existing
literature shows that the globalization has changed a bit news factors
and researchers need to revisit existing news factors.
